Beyond.pl’s Poznań AI Factory Has an Operating Record
Published October 17, 2026 · Evidence-based analysis
Beyond.pl declared its F.I.N. supercomputer in Poznań fully operational on September 3, 2025. The NVIDIA-based system, housed in the company’s existing Data Center 2, has since appeared in two TOP500 rankings, giving the AI Factory a public performance record alongside its wider campus plans.
The benchmark measures computing performance. The much larger power figures promoted with the project describe the surrounding campus and its development plans, rather than the AI system itself.
A first phase with a measurable record
Beyond.pl launched the AI Factory initiative in May 2025 to offer GPU rental and AI services for training and inference. The disclosed system combines NVIDIA DGX B200 machines, Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking and FlashBlade storage supplied under the Pure Storage name. That supplier is now called Everpure.
TOP500 records F.I.N. at 7.57 petaflops of measured Linpack performance, with a 9.36 petaflop theoretical peak. It ranked 235th in June 2026, following its first listing at 211th in November 2025. These are benchmark results; the record leaves power consumption blank and does not establish customer utilization.
An established host, with a traceable site history
The AI Factory sits within Beyond.pl’s existing DC2 facility in eastern Poznań. Company location information uses Adama Kręglewskiego 11, while the current TIA constructed-facility certification lists 11A.
Poznań’s municipal records connect those addresses to the Research Centre parcels named in Beyond.pl’s earlier construction permissions. A September 2014 register records building approval, and a 2021 environmental-proceeding entry bridges the old site description to the current addresses. Those records establish the host’s identity and development history. The later AI installation is documented by the operator and benchmark record.
The larger numbers need their own milestones
Beyond.pl’s launch materials described up to 100 MW of committed campus power and a 150 MW campus target. They do not disclose how much operating IT load belongs to F.I.N. No verified installed GPU total or phase-specific power measurement was found in the reviewed documents.
Puls Biznesu reported a first-phase investment above PLN 100 million in May 2025, based on an interview in which management described a nine-digit amount. The precise final spend remains undisclosed. Kulczyk Investments’ current portfolio lists a 100% holding in Beyond.pl; the suppliers’ financial statements do not allocate revenue to this project.
For the next stage, the useful evidence will be concrete: additional installed GPUs, energized power assigned to the AI system, and disclosed spending and customer use. The existing machine gives Poznań a delivered AI-computing asset; its eventual commercial scale still has to be demonstrated.

Project-specific Poznań government records establish the physical host; operator disclosures establish the AI installation; TOP500 supplies a separate benchmark record. DCD is an independent publisher reporting the company announcement, while Puls Biznesu contributes original interview-based investment reporting. Ownership and certification have separate official sources. Corporate filings are context and are not counted as project-specific government evidence.
